Hello, I cannot seem to get Price Labels on DRAWING_RECTANGLE_EXT_HIGHLIGHT drawings. Best as I can tell, my code matches what the UI would show if I drew the same rectangle manually. Below is some sample code that draws a rectangle, but is missing price labels for the BeginValue and EndValue inputs. Any idea why? Thanks, Kory #include "sierrachart.h" SCDLLName("kg_Kory_Sandbox") int AddRectangleHighlight(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc, float beginValue, float endValue, int index, COLORREF PrimaryColor, COLORREF SecondaryColor, int width) { // Draw a rectangle highlight int lineNumber = 0; s_UseTool Tool; Tool.Clear(); Tool.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber; Tool.Region = sc.GraphRegion; Tool.DrawingType = DRAWING_RECTANGLE_EXT_HIGHLIGHT; //Tool.DrawingType = DRAWING_RECTANGLEHIGHLIGHT; Tool.BeginIndex = index; Tool.EndIndex = index+0; Tool.BeginValue = beginValue; Tool.EndValue = endValue; Tool.Color = PrimaryColor; Tool.LineWidth = width; // To see the outline this must be 1 or greater. Tool.SecondaryColor = SecondaryColor; Tool.TransparencyLevel = 80; //Tool.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_ALWAYS; Tool.LineNumber = 0xDEADBEEF; Tool.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST; Tool.TextAlignment = DT_RIGHT; // // WHY DOESN'T THIS SHOW LABELS?????? // Tool.ShowLabelsAtEnd = 1; Tool.ShowLabels = 1; Tool.CenterPriceLabels = 1; Tool.AddAsUserDrawnDrawing = 0; int ret = sc.UseTool(Tool); lineNumber = Tool.LineNumber; // Remember line number which has been automatically set return lineNumber; } // =========================================================================== // kg_Kory_Sandbox // =========================================================================== SCSFExport scsf_kg_Kory_Sandbox(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { if (sc.SetDefaults) { sc.GraphName = "kg_Kory_Sandbox"; sc.AutoLoop = 1; sc.DrawZeros = 0; sc.GraphRegion = 0; sc.DrawStudyUnderneathMainPriceGraph = 0; return; } if (sc.Index == sc.ArraySize - 100 && sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus() == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED) { AddRectangleHighlight(sc, sc.High[sc.Index]+10, sc.Low[sc.Index]-10, sc.Index, RGB(210,210,0), RGB(0,210,210), 1); } } |

Try using 'ShowPrice' - Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study: s_UseTool::ShowPrice

Thank you for that. I try really hard to investigate and research things before asking questions, and not sure how I missed this, but that was exactly it. THANK YOU. I am glad this was something trivial, and I just missed that. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-05-03 21:45:25
